You inspired me to fix my bathroom fan... Now sorted. Although i knew what was up with mine and i deliberately broke it as it was stuck on (too humid), now fixed the external vent and reconnected the beast. Great channel - i wish i had the time to do stuff like this!!

Looks like a manufacturing design defect. You don't put a massive wire wound resistor like that in a confined space next to heat sensitive components.

Eletrolytic caps don't really mix well with heat. They start to dry out, loose capacitance and increase in ESR. Delaminating traces are also the result of excess heat (especially on this type of phenolic paper PCBs). Also the clearances between tracks are awful. Absolutely atrocious design. If you want this thing to work longer without failing move that big resistor somewhere in the airflow so it has some cooling. BTW. That chip is just a quad CMOS NOR gate. It's used here as crude timer.

@brendonwood7595

The problem is that the resistor is powered all the time, not just while the fan is running. It will still overheat even if in the airflow. It needs to be replaced with a higher wattage resistor as the one used clearly is not capable of dealing with the power it is exposed to.

I agree with those saying this is a badly designed device. That resistor is acting like a heater in a small and combustible space, it's great you found the fault but please replace the unit before it catches fire.

Just opened up our Manrose fan to see an identical board. Thanks to your video this has convinced me to bin it and go for a VentAxia instead of trying to fix the board.

Great educational video Vince.

You were measuring the static pins of the potentiometer. They will not change value. It is the third pin, the one off by itself, that is the rotor and changes. Those cheap Chinese capacitors should always be replaced with better ones, which it seems you did.. They should also be rated for 105c since they are near high heat. 85c (or unmarked) is the lower rating. They dry out from exposure to the heat. Since the 330mfd could be the timer (drains slowly through the pot to keep the IC turned on), if it were replaced with a 470mfd cap it would keep running for a longer period but probably adjustable to a desired time via the control pot. Good on you for getting Panasonic since it will be better than a no-name Chinese cap, which are the bane of electronic devices these days. Your resistor is a metal type and unless open probably is still usable. Why it got so hot could be due to a few things but it could have been the bad caps if they were leaky enough or it could just be a tad small for the job. All in all, good job. You are getting the hang of this stuff.

Congrats Vince for 320K Subscribers! ;-)

Finally a new multimeter. Tho you could buy a broken fluke multimeter, fix it, and have a pro multimeter for super cheap :p

Love your vids keep the switch ones up

The chip, HCF4001BE, is a quad NOR. Likely two of the small resistors, one of the caps and a diode are used as DC supply to the chip, the pot and the smaller cap are used as timing devices. When turned on the cap builds a charge and when turned off the cap will start to discharge. The discharge rate (time) is controlled by the pot. When the cap voltage reaches a lower threshold, it will trigger the logic of the NOR gate to turn off the transistor and cut off supply to the fan. The worry about this design is the use of a high wattage resistor to drop voltage to the fan, knowing it will get very hot in an enclosed and already warm & humid environment. These types of caps will fail frequently in this environment, and a much more serious problem is the resistor fault in this video will likely occur quite frequently, and it seems like a huge fire risk. If I were asked to repair this item I would recommend against it because of the hazard, and would report it to the Government regulators. It is a very poor and dangerous design.

I'll add that the code on the resistor looked like red red orange to me at the start, so 22k. Given how hot it got in this design I'd never use that again without as a minimum replacing it with a bigger 5 watt or 10 watt resistor as it will just cook all the components again if left as is.

Another enjoyable video

that resistor is reducing the 220v to something for the chip to work, it is going to run hot and will cause the capacitors to fail again. Nice video btw!

Where did you get your hot air machine from i have been after one for a while now but can't seem to find any reasonably cheap, could you give a recommendation?

Thanks for an entertaining video mate. Your like me, only more advanced. 😄

Nice vid, when soldering just bend the long feet so it will stay in place without the need to hold it. Also you might wanna cknsider getting a 3rd hand (idk if thats the correct term in english, just a little arm with a crocodile clamp at the end of it)

That big resistor is actually designed to run that hot it is failing, and it also forms part of the power supply for the timer chip.

Looks like mine, the sensor was far too sensitive so it was on permanently the repair guy just said its easier to lower the sensitivity but it took a while as humidity has to be factored in.

The output to those two black wires is 240v AC so it doesn't matter which way round you reconnect. Fan will spin in same direction either way. Also, have you tried adjusting that pot? I'm sure that will adjust the timer.

Now I could be wrong, but it looks like a crazy cheap design! I suspect the resistor is dropping the mains AC voltage. You can see that from the L & N connections on the board there. Probably half wave rectified and smoothed by one of those caps. The 22K reading you got on the resistor sounds about right. Resistors can change their resistance when heavily burned like that though. One of the caps is used for timing I think (along with the variable resistor). The 2 smaller diodes might be zener diodes to regulate the DC voltage perhaps. I think there's a dropped AC input via one or more of the smaller resistors (and possibly one of those smaller diodes) there - to act as a sense, and input into that 4001 NOR IC I think. So that NOR will have 2 inputs, the timer input and the switched input. When the timer is "charged" its high, when the switch is on its high, meaning the ouput is low. Fan is probably engaged when the transistor gets that low. If the switch is turned off, that means the switch signal is low, but the timer is still high (charged), but since its a NOR gate the output will remain low because one of the inputs (the timer) is still high, so fan keeps going. When the cap runs down below CMOS high logic level the NOR gate now has 2 low inputs, switching its output high, turning off the fan. I am always amazed when I see something like this working with little effort used to drop 240V down to probably 12v or so (CMOS voltage, and I guess it would be 12v as opposed to 5v as I cannot see how else the Fan might be powered). As others have said - I would use 105 degrees caps too. I think the other thing I would do personally is swap out that 22K resistor with something that can handle a bit more current. That said, I see no fuses on this which imho would scare the hell out of me, especially seeing how crammed up everything is next to that very hot resistor. I think the output from the CMOS IC there is switching the fan on via the small transistor (could be wrong but that's how it looks). When resistors like that fail they can often go short circuit. That would mean 240v fired straight into the regulation and rectifier side, which would short and blow those out. I guess since they are small sized components they would possibly act like a fuse anyway. One of the higher resistance resistors must be forming the other half of the voltage divider for the switched input and the "always on" live that gets dropped to around 12v. Again, take what I say with a pinch of salt, I could be wrong but it looks quite simple and a good one to learn from for sure. Finally, I see more than one gate on the 4001 wired there (but cannot tell how, as its upside down and I cannot see where pin 1 is easily), but they might be using more than 1 gate there to invert the logic to the transistor. Would seem a bit crazy to do that though as you could just use an OR gate instead of a NOR gate to achieve the same thing lol.

Great video

Hey Vince! Would you please consider adding the model number of the item you are trying to fix in the description? I'd like to see if there is any documentation available for the device. Also, you might want to start looking up the device's schematics for reference when you're troubleshooting a circuit. You'd be surprised how often you can find the PCB schematic online. Great video!

@@Mymatevince thank you!

Want to add a note to how you think it works to help teach. When the switch is on it charges one of those capacitors when the switch is turned off the capacitor drains through a resistor. As long as there is a potential provided by the capacitor the chip reads that and continues to run it until the capacitor reaches a drained threshold then the chip shuts it off. You can explore this idea with a 555 time chip setting it up in astable circuit formation. Then by changing the value of the capacitor you change the frequency of the output and this is determined by the length of the charging and discharging of the capacitor.

the caps would have been my first guess too. the timer works on how fast you charge the cap. then when it gets charged it puts power onto a leg of the IC which then shuts off the fan.

have same thing thanks for a great video

My bathroom fan looks the same with the hot running resistor, I actually think its intentional to heat up the enclosure and stop condensation forming since they're used in humid wet rooms and mounted into a hole where cold outside air can cool the fan PCB below the dew point.

@Knaeckebrotsaege

It maybe was kind of intentional, but bean counters ended up downsizing the resistor wattage rating and using cheapo junk caps to save a few cents per unit, leading to this mess... They apparently didn't get to the fan motor to cost-down that into a failure, since the bearing in that thing lasted for 17 years

Hi can you do a video of how I can link two player games with two xbox one s consoles on the same network? Do they both share the same TV screen please? I can use the xbox one s and one our our pc gaming towers but my kids want an xbox each...

those capacitors are simply smoothing capacitors to reduce electrical noise so the fans uses electricity more efficiently. the capacitor makes it so that rather than ride half the sine wave, it takes the energy and smooths it out so it can get more of the sine wave input

I’m starting to think he’s breaking things around the house to fix them lol

Hi Vince glad to see you got an ESR meter. But to explain how the thing works, It sends an AC signal through the capacitor and reads the loss of signal between the two probes. As such, do yourself a favour, you don't need to take the capacitor out. So you could have turned the board over and go bop bop on each cap , the reading would have been the same so job done. The chip is a logic gate . one of the capacitors will charge up, the power will be cut off it by some means with the logic gate, your potentiometer will be set across the capacitor and slowly discharge it Then at a set point the logic gate will switch the power back to the cap. Now when you buy electro caps for power supplies etc get Low ESR 105deg type the crap you get from China 9 out of 10 is dodgy. Your Panasonic caps are ok. Sorry but that board is crap, the heat of that resistor is normal for that. Also sucking moist air across that board is a bit daft.

the clear orange diodes are Zener diode. which allows current to flow in the reverse direction when i target voltage is reached. :)

That fan motor is an AC motor so it doesn't matter which way the wires are. That's why they aren't marked.

FYI - the black diode with the silver band could be a schottky or rectifier diode. The print on the component will tell you exactly what it is. The brown glass diodes are zener diodes.

This was a nice little circuit. It would have shown how they got the 240ac to run the small chip and components. I'm just a tinkerer but the black diode would convert the 240ac to 120 dc (by cutting off the bottom of the waveform) so the waveform would look like _n_n_n_ . The big resistor would then be used (along with another resistor) to drop the voltage to the circuit to 5v (or whatever voltage was required). The other (smoothing) capacitor would be used to get the on/off dc to a more constant 5/12v by smoothing the waveform out which is what the ic would need. Nowadays I would guess they would use some sort of power transistor regulator to do this. I wonder what the new fans look like inside or if they are stuck in time using the same components. Just my thoughts and could be totally wrong. With a diagram, this would be easier to figure out and understand.

great video to watch ☑

Please note. That the silkscreen for caps which are + and - are not always true. Always check the way the cap is before removing it. Can have a bad day.

Excellent

Sorry Vince. I am going to slightly correct myself from my last comment. If you take the capacitor out you will heat the thing up and get a better reading than the thing actually has. So read it in circuit and only take it out if you have a bad reading

Always use fresh solder first on removing old solder. The fresh solder reacts better with the old solder making it easier to remove. Invest in solder removing tape or a solder sucker. Check out my video on RC Hobbiest Extreme, I am currently working on a trail camara that had a faulty internal battery that is used for programming the camara . I discovered the battery had leaked and no longer worked. I was able to find a replacement and will be doing a part two this week. Will it fix the problem? You got me interested in doing my own repairs on electronics although I have to admit, I was raised around electronics and have been playing with solder since I was a kid. The chip is the timer ( look it up) the power is run through several diodes to bring the voltage down otherwize it would blow the chip. I am suprised they do not have a step down voltage regulator. That stupid resistor is what they are using to step down the voltage. Not a great idea. It is not smotthing it out so rough voltage is destroying it. Heat as you know is NOT a friend of any component. I wouldnt even use that fan in my home. One of those diodes are being used as a fuse as is common pratice on cheaper units. I see it used on coffee makers and have been able to fix a few due to a spike in current blowing the diode and essentually killing the power to the unit. Usually its right at the programming board.

Love how Vince carefully insulated the cap leg from the trace he needed to connect to.

Does anyone know what the song is?

Electrolytic capacitors do not like heat, if it gets hot enough to discolour the board it is way to hot for the caps. I also always fit 105 deg C low ESR caps when ever I replace capacitors.

I have the exact same board as that (exact same layout and part number) but with the Resistor in good cosmetic condition and it is a 22k as measured here. The big cap on my board is 470 micro farad and the small is 47, well they used to be, both of mine are dead as well, i suspect the heat from the resistor is what is killing them.

The caps can be a higher voltage no problem. The 16v caps could be 25v or 35v as long as the uF is the same.

You had the front cover on upside down as there's a cut out to adjust the timer. They also fitted on the wall the wrong way up as the timer dial is on the top & not the bottom

I'd think a fan could be designed to better dissipate heat from its own controller but then humidity is a big factor as well in the intended application of this one.

If not no problem just think it could make a good video considering you have never don’t a iPad get back to me please

My bathroom fan won't turn off. How do I stop it?

if you get a resistor with a very low fault tolerance +/- 5% or less, it won't do that as much. plus, that resistor seems to have gone high resistance.

When you change the lengh of ravel you also change the values.......Just FYI

I think the safer route would of been to demask and solder the leg into the unmasked area then routing the leg around other possible shorts.

The first thing is to replace the very cheap Chinese junk electrolytic capacitors with high quality Japanese ones from RS or Farnell or Digi-Key or Mouser, that is likely the problem. Also you need to replace the resistor that overheated. Please do NOT buy capacitors and resistors on ebay, they will be counterfeit!
